Just recently my old MB broke and I'm looking to replace it with a DDR board. I'm planning on getting the KR7A and a stick of crucial ram. Will my 1 gig tbird(200) be compatible with the new setup? I'm planning on upgrading the CPU soon just not now.

Hmm, is the CPU unlocked? If it is, then you can lower the multiplier to 7.5x and you won't be overclocking. Otherwise, you'll have to overclock the CPU to 1.33GHz.

Of course, this is assuming you want to run the FSB at 266MHz, otherwise, you're fine at 100MHz FSB (200MHz effective).
